Well, I am well and truly back to work, with long days. Don't know where the time is going, which is a good thing really, as there is nothing worse than being at work and having nothing to do!
I finished sewing my scrappy stars from a long time ago:
I think I will be giving this one away. My dad and step mum live next door to a lady called Joan. She is 82 and often tries to drink us all under the table when we go up there. She is such a lovely lady

| That's Joan, in the hat, on the right. Lovely hot lunch time and we are drinking bubbly |
I want to get this finished for her so that she has something to throw over her in the evenings
I have been doing some EPP in the evenings:
 |
| Rose star |
and a Christmas one (!!!)
I have not done any more on my wedding ring as I have ordered some scrap bundles from pink castle fabrics scrap pack. I wanted to add some materials that I don't have as my scraps as starting to repeat. I have something to pick up from the post office and I think that is my scraps. Can't wait!
ooh! I like your stars... I am sure Joan will love it xx
ReplyDeleteThe stars look terrific. Make sure she doesn't spill any drinks on it though!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of that old lady!
ReplyDeleteHappy Scraps!
What a lovely gift for your drinking buddy! Jxo
ReplyDeleteA great gift idea! Such cool EPP work =D
ReplyDeleteThe stars will make a really lovely gift for Joan. The EPP is nice too. I am looking forward to seeing your wedding rings grow. I never realised how small the individual pieces were until you showed me. Good thing that there are dark winter nights ahead - plenty of sewing time! Di x
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of Joan and the star quilt will be perfect for her. Off to look at those scrap packs now although I had a bit of a splurge there yesterday!
ReplyDeletelol -you have to watch them little old ladies!!! your EPP project is gorgeous
ReplyDeletelove your scrappy stars and EPP! I need to get back to some rose stars I reckon just got too much going on! life gets in the way of sewing sometimes boooo!
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy stars!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Scrappy Stars! Great pressie.
ReplyDeleteThat scrappy stars quilt will make a great pressie!
ReplyDeleteSomehow it sounds like Joan is a budgie! Throw a quilt over her, she will go to sleep, and stop drinking you under the table! Sorry- just the way my mind works... Or doesn't.
ReplyDeleteshe sounds fun.
